If the Eternal City is par excellence and your love worthy of eternal promise, then being here on February 14th will be one day in which you cannot help but to get lost in they eyes of your partner as you wander through the streets of Rome.

Located in northeastern Rome, Villa Ada is the second largest park in Rome that covers an area of 450 acres. Known not only for its beauty, the Villa Ada is also a popular venue for many artistic and musical events. Although a public park, Villa Ada also houses the Egyptian Embassy, and so there are some areas that are considered private and are restricted.

Originally, the Villa was the royal residence of the Italian royal House of Savoy from 1872 to 1878. The name of the Villa stems from the brief period (1878-1904) when a Swiss count (Tellfner) named it after his wife Ada.
